The R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard Foundation and Butler Community College are proud to announce that the amount of scholarship money given to the Hubbard Award of Excellence winner has significantly increased to $14,000.

A Butler tradition since 1985, the prestigious Hubbard Award of Excellence is awarded to a Butler student who is nominated by faculty or staff for well-deserved recognition regarding their academic excellence and involvement in campus and community activities. The winner receives a scholarship for four semesters to the institution of their choice after graduating from Butler Community College.

In 1985, Butler Community College alumnus R.D. Hubbard (’56) and his wife Joan Dale dedicated the scholarship fund to recognize and encourage academic excellence at Butler. Their Foundation has adopted an entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy that reflects their spirit. Today their primary business interests include a wide range of investments such as land, casinos, and racehorses.

Butler appreciates the support of the faculty and staff who nominate the students who exemplify this prestigious award and is grateful for R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard’s visionary support of student success.

Philanthropic contributions to Butler Community College are coordinated by the Butler Community College Foundation. The foundation manages fundraising efforts with alumni, friends, corporations and foundations to secure private support for the college.
